Kendall Bernell Hunter (born September 16, 1988) is an American football running back for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Oklahoma State University, and earned All-American honors twice. The 49ers chose him in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft.

Early years[]

Hunter was born in Tyler, Texas. He attended John Tyler High School in Tyler, where he rushed for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior. Considered a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, Hunter was listed as the No. 40 running back prospect in the nation.[1] Hunter suffered a knee injury in high school that limited his potential suitors. Hunter was a first-team all-district selection following his junior season during which he rushed for 1,056 yards and twelve touchdowns.[2]

College career[]

Hunter played for coach Mike Gundy's Oklahoma State Cowboys football team from 2007 to 2010. He was the nation's seventh leading rusher with 119.6 yards per game, including nine 100-yard rushing games, in 2008. He led the Big 12 Conference in rushing by more than 30 yards per game. He was named a first-team All-American after his sophomore season in 2008, and was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American as a senior in 2010. As a senior, he was also a finalist for the Doak Walker award which was won by LaMichael James who is now his current NFL teammate.[3]
